Cakes were fine, now not growing?
    #12593561 - 05/19/10 05:19 PM (14 years, 7 months ago)

Birthed my first 5 cakes about 3 weeks ago. For the first 2 weeks, they were doing well. I got plenty of nice picks from them.. after that, they severely slowed down and would only produce small shrooms at best. I figured they might need rehydration, so I took them to the sink.. picked all the aborts and remaining small shrooms on them (left pins alone), washed off all the old verm and rerolled the entire cake[s] in dry verm.

Its been another week +1/2 and they're hardly producing, much like before. Is there anything I can/should do? I heard cakes last 2 months, but is there a chance these are just done?

EDIT: Also, what defines a "flush"? My shrooms didn't grow in waves or anything that I could actually define as a flush.

I did the dunk'n'roll after they were birthed. I thought everyone does that so I didn't post that part. Should I be dunking for 24hours every time they slow down like this?

You are suppose to dunk again for 24 hours after each flush

But you didn't dunk again when you 'took them to the sink'? They're dry.
